It’d be easier to start with a blank canvass than try to “fix” the problems with government, post office, schools etc etc
'It’d be easier to start with a blank canvass than try to “fix” the problems with government, post office, schools etc etc'I entirely agree with that assessment. Start with bare earth. Now let's at least find a healthy plurality who would sacrifice what's needed to implement it. This almost-defunct society is woefully short of field generals who could rally the troops to that end.
"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
--H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
